You will need a wireless network card for your PC that supports 5GHz profile to take full advantage of it and thats only for your local network such as transfering files to and from computers or streaming videos.

It of course will work with older B G N wireless cards as well just you will not see the maximum gigbit/sec speeds on those profiles.

I've just installed the model below it in the last few days, the Asus RT-N66U (I didn't need the 802.11ac support of the model you are thinking of purchasing), and I have it coupled with the Asus PCE-N53 network card.

It is slower than a wired connection but it is still fast. I use it for gaming so speed and stability are important to me.

Wired:

Wireless (distance of about 30 feet):

5ghz band

2.4ghz band

Sometimes the 5ghz band gets up to the 50 Mb/s range. Hope this helps.

One of the "best routers in 2012". What are you connecting to it? desktop, laptop?

I will connect my desktop PC via wired internet. And my PS VITA via wireless. Mainly, Iam buying it for my VITA to have a good connection. Because I know when you use wireless internet. You will lose some of the signal and it won't stronge as wired internet.

I doubt Vita supports 5ghz, but on my tests I only lose a couple of Mb/s on the 2.4 band. You won't be disappointed with the router. However, I'd go for model I went for, as it costs less and ac support isn't really needed.

Just one question. The wireless router will open the 5GHZ by it self or I have to open that channel or play with the settings inorder to make the singal 5GHZ?

It automatically broadcasts 2.4 and 5ghz channels simultaneously. On the Vita you could connect to the 2.4 channel, and if you have any devices that support 5ghz then they could connect to the 5ghz channel.

Oh ok thanks for the info. Than there is no need to spend that much money on it, since the VITA won't take any adventage from 5GHZ. I will get something else and cheaper a little. Thanks guys.

Look into the ubiquiti routers. I just ordered one because I'm tired of the pathetic range of wireless in these big box store brands. Ubiquiti is a commercial brand that cost the same as most residential brands.
